117th-118th United States Congress: Don't Be An Idiot

[archibaldcrane]

it's going to be bad, and there's little salve looking ahead on the calendar, the Senate is going to be lost for a decade

[NynJa]

I'm shocked that just a couple of months ago millions of women had their rights taken away, and they decided not to go out and vote. I guess gas prices is a bigger deal than women's rights.

The best birthday gift!

Have yall seen the early voting totals for this year? Texas had 5.4 million early votes. Pretty good for a non presidential election year.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ?

Literally has almost 0 effect on inflation.

That was bad actually becasue it didn't solve all the problems in the world.

Such a tool.

Then it was going to be lost anyway? Results aren't even in yet, don't get so worked up.

Spicy continuing to tell us that dems are worse then the GOP actually. Like I don't think I've ever seem him even try to denounce anything they've done or are trying to do.

Its very difficult to take a contrarian seriously.

I'm still waiting for the Republican cure for everything that they fucking caused.

Their goal is not to solve problems, it's to keep getting elected on the promise of solving them while intentionally making them worse.

They can never even suggest solutions to the problems they keep pointing out. Its just "current left wing leaders are responsible for these problems, we need to get them out of power and we will fix these problems" ok how? "we will fix these problems that left wing leaders are responsible for"

[Dimmauk]

Republican voters say they care about the economy, crime and the border. Most Republican run states are the worst statistically in those same subjects

It be easy to dismiss it as contrarianism.

At any rate, why are you waiting for Republicans to "fix" what they deliberately do?

[archibaldcrane]

Jon Ralston, who is THE guy on Nevada voting, is signaling Republican wave there - which would wipe out a Dem Senator and Dem Governor

[archibaldcrane]

there's a lot of hopium on my timeline about Wisconsin voting but without a Ralston-esque figure looking calmly at the numbers it's probably just to build me up and crush me

[Spicyryan]

This is what happens when a party runs campaigns almost entirely focused on "I am against Trump" and then don't put in the work with constituents and refine messaging otherwise.

[archibaldcrane]

The party messaging over the entire campaign was about abortion rights more than anything else, what are you blathering about

[Mrbeansman]

Why leftist are just gonna tell them their not doing enough and not vote anyway as you blatantly admitted to doing.

It's how a bunch of these seats made their way in and now out. Leaning heavily on abortion, another obviously important yet somewhat tone deaf. It's the same genre of complaint.

You will have to be more specific.

I'm waiting to hear how they will fix everything they say is wrong with America.

[kisada]

538 forecast is finalized; 59% chance Repubs take both chambers, 84% at least the House. prolly best we can hope for is Dems hanging onto the Senate and that only because of tiebreaker Kamala. would be a decent enough result given inflation and gas prices and the natural equilibrium swing away from a sitting president's party in the midterms. still not great Bob.

at this point that's all i got to hold onto

When Republicans talk about fixing America it is really just projection. For autonomy when it suits them and state interference when it doesn't. For their interests at the expense of others. For their social values at the repression of others.

Those are their sort of fixes. They make no bones about it, and the American culture is one of hyperindividualism and self-preservation.
